So July 27th I climbed Mount Timpanogos for the third time and the beauty of the mountain never fails to impress me. This time was special because my 16 year old daughter hiked the mountain with me this time. I was concerned that she wouldn’t make it but she was incredible and made it all the way to the top, along with two of her friends.
We Started out at just before 6 am and started the hike at 6:20.
Driving to toward the mountain
Blake and Zane as we start the hike.
Here we are at the first waterfall. With the dry year it is quite a bit smaller then usual but it still is amazing.
Here are few of my favorite views of the canyon as you first start up the canyon.
Looking up the canyon.
Looking back down the canyon.
So after hiking for about 3 hours we got out of the canyon and this is where it flattens out and the actual hiking is not so strenuous. This is where we found the wildlife & flowers with all the meadows.
Here are some of the pictures that we got of the mountain goats:

The meadows are so scenic. I could spend hours with a good book and a picnic basket.

Then we started the third and final part of the hike. While the rock fields was probably the worst, I think the fact that our bodies were worn out made it worse.
We finally made it to the top!! The view from both the saddle and from the peak are amazing!

Utah Lake South Side
Finally made it to the Shack on the top of the mountain

You can’t make it all the way up the mountain without a little X action going on!
Here we are, all of us made it.
It was a great hike and I can’t wait until next year!!
I had to include there pictures from my daughter’s friend. The are pretty amazing!!

Well, a delicious, 4 ingredient low carb, gluten free cupcake of course. I wanted to provide you with something that did not require any special ingredients or skills. The cupcake will probably be the fastest cupcake you have ever made. Drum roll….. 1 minute to bake. Best of all if you love to bake you probably have the ingredients in your pantry right now. Let’s get started making what I call the 1 Minute Flourless Chocolate Cupcake.
Ingredients (serves 3)
1 egg
2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp of preferred sweetener I used raw honey, but if you are not used to making anything low carb you might prefer to start with 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener .
1/4 tsp of baking soda
Instructions
In a bowl mix together the egg, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Lastly add the baking soda and mix.
Pour the batter into microwavable silicone cupcake liners, or 1 medium bowl (to make a small cake), or 3 small bowls (to make it cupcake size), people often use a coffee mug too. I found that one batch made 3 cupcakes. *If you are using bowls or a coffee mug you should lightly grease the inside with butter, coconut oil, or your preferred cooking fat.
Microwave all three cupcakes at once for 1 minute or until baked. *Note, the batter will rise very high at first and then deflate as it is finished baking.
Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean it is finished, if not microwave for a few more seconds.
